The Bee

The Bee at publika is a really nice place to chill and talk over good food. My staple item to order here i the eggs benedict with smoke salmon. Very very yummy and always cooked to perfection. On weekdays they have a set lunch ranging from RM20−30 that comes with a choice of 5 mains and a drink, which i think is really worth it. This outlet is pet friendly which makes it extra fun cause you can bring your furkids along.
The staff are super friendly to the pets and even offer water for them. Most owners give their doggies some of the food too. The outside area is specially for patrons with dogs, and i think its really windy here and everytime i dine here i automatically get into a good mood.
It just has a really chilled wibe and is and always will be one of my favorite places.

The Bee is one of the well known dining place in Publika. I’ve been here once for dinner with my girlfriends for a catch up session. It’s been a while since we met each other. So, there so much to talk about. Initially we wanted to sit inside because it is air conditioned. However, we ended up sitting at the outdoor seating area because there’s a live band inside. It will be too noisy for us to hear each others voice. To avoid shouting while we converse, we decided to sacrifice a little (no air conditioner.).
The outdoor seating wasn’t as bad as we imagined. Maybe the weather is being kind to us, it was actually quite cooling. We even had a great time chatting away without feeling uncomfortable. Their food was quite delicious too. I had their pasta with salmon (couldn’t remember the exact name) and I find it quite delicious. I even tried some of my friend’s food. Hehe. Other people’s food always look tastier. Just couldn’t resist.
Overall we had a great time at The Bee. Though they have live band, we are not there for that. So if you’re a live band person, that should be another plus point aside from the delicious food and great ambience.

My first time here was last year celebrating my birthday with a bunch of best friends. I love the name of «The Bee», is a name that mean a lots to me.
Let’s talk about the ambient first, it’s come with beatnik or I should said more hippie style. Wooden tables, chairs and bench, blackboard and chalks describing the menu, and some bulb lights hanging on top of the ceiling. There’s also a small stage inside where singer and the bands will performing every night. Sometimes, special guest might also attends.
I personally prefer sitting outdoor, sitting on the tall chairs with long table together with my friends. We can still listen to the music but not too loud from the outside so that we could also talk without interrupting others. We will usually chill here with couple of drinks and order some light foods such as fries or pizza to share. Good place to listen, eat, drink and talk!

A rather happening place in Publika. Quite a lot of activities in this place. Drinks, dessert — So so. Good place to catch up with friends since it’s kinda in a corner.

Decent spot for decent music! I was here to support a friend’s gig for his acoustic music night and it was really good!
Turn up rate was amazing and the restaurant is able to house quite a number of people! I love how spacious the restaurant appears to be and extra tables were added just for the night.
There are a wide range of alcoholic drinks to choose from. The food is pretty good too! I love how the place look vintage-​ish and very cosy and welcoming. Love how they decorated their interior.
I will definitely come back to this place for more, be it to support another friend for their gig or maybe just be there for a dinner with friends. You should come here one day too if you haven’t :)

I was more acquainted with their branch in Jaya One but I found myself here one night as I had to catch Grimes and The Radio Dept performing live! I’ve been here many times after and I just love how the feel of this place changes according to what time or occasion it is. At night dining can be romantic and in the afternoon it can be sunny and breeeezy. The layout of this place is such that there is a huge empty space where they can place either dining tables, leave it empty for their live performances or set up pop-​up booths while a bar stays put in the corner of the restaurant. Clever.
I haven’t had the chance to come back for a while but I remember not enjoying the food the more often I came here because they started feeling too pricey. I suppose they’re not though because their deliiicious Smokin Texas Slaw Burger is about RM24, so you be the judge! Anyway, I love the ambiance of this place and the vibes it gives out. They hold a lot of events monthly which I have unfortunately not have the time to go back for but I think it’s whole idea of being more than a restaurant is way cool.

The Bee is one of those establishments that builds a lifestyle around their brand. I went to The Bee during their Halloween party, which was surprisingly fun! Lots of little kids dressed up in costumes, one of them even came as Nacho Libre. They also had a storytelling session, which I thought was a fun activity for the kids.
As we were not too hungry at the time, we just shared some churros and had some drinks. Both were pretty good. My only pet peeve is that they don’t serve non alcoholic milkshakes cos they all sound delicious!

came here long ago to cover an event when Dia Framton was performing in a small crowd promoting her first album. In case you all do not know, she is the first winner of The voice USA no wait sorry 1^st runner up and listen to her song the broken ones and you will love her!
The bee, a pretty spacious place to come and listen to gigs and have a nice churos dip in caramel sauce or the last polka ice cream. This is one of the oldest café i know before every café opened it’s own signature.
The table and chairs and space is perfect for normal birthday parties or celebration for a small group of friends and not to mention friends chilling while supporting their the bandmates. This place is where people get to know new bands and good entertainers for the night.
In case you may not know, many other events has host here such as Malta and many more.

After my first visit at their jaya one branch during a few years ago, i have always missed their brownies in a jar. So lately i have urged my friend to come to this branch in publika, hoping to find the same thing.
However, their brownies in a jar was out of stock so in the end we only managed to have some drinks and snacks here. However, this brought me to my new discovery! Their stuffed jalapeños! ! Creamy stuffing with cheese and you can still taste the spiciness and sourness, if you like some refreshing snacks to go with your beer, this is one of the things that i will recommend!
During weekend nights they will usually have live bands or other performances here and this branch is much bigger than the jaya one’s, so its a very nice place to hang out as well. However, just note that its quite a hipster place as well. So you shall not be allergy to hipster if you’re to come here, aha!

I love the food menu, their snack menu and of course their funky drinks menu. I like how they come up with their own concoction of drinks especially The Bee’s Rum Shack OH SO YUMMY!
Not forgetting their music events… i think they ROCK for being artists such as The Jungle Giants and IWFYLS. They’ve got a handful of other quirky events too such as Furry Friends Farm which is a cat adoption drive, Whiskey Festival, comedy nights and a whole lot more of awesomeness!

I am a big fan of this place mainly because of this two things: ambience and music.
The outlet in Publika is just so spacious with plenty of places for groups of people to have a great time. Quirkily designed with much character and colours with great amazing selection of music, I always love the chilling sessions I have here. They usually play relaxing indie music which I love and it’s something that I do not get elsewhere. I found out about many amazing bands everything I hang out here. They have gigs and performances here very occasionally (Probably once a week) and definitely a must visit.
On the food though, I would say it’s decently good, but not great. Price is the average western restaurant pricing, which is about RM20 to RM 45 per dish. However, for The Bees, I come for the music, ambience and crowd they have to offer and that complements the food well.

The atmosphere at The Bee is really cozy and somewhat quirky. I like the high ceiling and the airy ambiance so it doesn’t get too hot when seated outdoors. I actually prefer sitting outside unless they have live bands playing. Yup, it is one of THE places to check out if you life watching live bands perform (at nights). Be sure to check out which nights they have bands playing. They some pretty good burgers that they serve. I liked their cheeseburger. The Bee also has an all day breakfast selection which includes a yummy eggs benedict, fluffy french toast and a pretty good breakfast burrito. They have free wifi offered here and as for parking, you can do so in Publika.

It’s another day for my friend and I to embark in our journey to try another café. This time we wanted to travel to Publika and try out Bxie Blonde. When we arrived, I actually did not want to try it out with him for 2 reasons. Firstly, I believe this is a place where couples should go and secondly, I did not feel comfortable entering that café with my friend. Being the nuisance I am, we finally settled down at… The Bee!

When I saw the menu, I was astounded as there are many dishes I would like to try. It took me a solid 15 minutes for me to decide which dish would break my virginity in this restaurant. When the waitress approached us, I had 2 dishes on my mind but I finally give the Spicy Chicken burger a try. While waiting, I realized bands would actually come here to perform as they have a stage next to the dining area. Besides that, there are many antiques and deco, which made the ambience of the restaurant real cozy, and it feels like you are in a Godfather film.

I really have to be honest with you guys, the spicy chicken burger was not spicy but it tastes good. The meat was tender and has lots of flavors. On top of that, the fries was extremely good although it was just ‘fries’. I was full but I kept picking at it because it was just that good. I would definitely return for the other dishes, stay tuned, as I would update more on this place. SCORE!

I came on a very happening Saturday night where there was this live blues performance by a bunch of Caucasian. They made the atmosphere of The Bee so much more cooler and vintage.
My friend and I absolutely loved the performance and the busy crowd was really such a good bunch who responded well with the live performance.
Besides the performance, we also had two different burgers for dinner. The Bee Burger is an absolute delight for me and if you do like spicy stuff, go for the Mexican chilli burger.
Do check out their website on their live performances schedule and do drop by for a good time!

Not the best place for food.
But I’m fascinated by its relaxing ambience. Be it high wooden chair or couches, they have both, it is up to your mood and where to sit. No pressure if you come alone as there is always a suitable spot for you. That’s what I love about The Bee — gives me a neighbourhood café feeling.
The Bee is definitely one of my best hangout spots whenever I’m nearby Jalan Duta /​Petaling Jaya for both weekends and weekdays.
If it is still there, The Bee serves set lunch (below RM20) on weekdays and the food is actually not bad! The one in Dutamas is more spacious than The Bee @ Jaya One.

By far the best bee for me. Hey that rhymes! Okay no… I’ve been to the other outlets, but this one is still my favourite. The setting of the restaurant is somewhat ‘hipster’ like. It’s not amazing or anything, but it does have a lofty feel to it. I particularly like the outside seating area; spacious and clean. Even the furniture is comfortable here. It’s an awesome spot to chill with your friends, or even to have meetings.
My absolute favourite dish here is their aglio e olio shrimp. It’s absolutely delicious! The spiciness of it gives that extra zing to your tastebuds. And they’re not stingy with their prawns! To go with my pasta, i would usually order myself their root beer. I’m a sucker for root beer and The Bee’s signature root beer is perfect for me! *Burp!
As for desert, i usually just go for their polka dot ice cream scoops. I enjoy the vanilla flavour the most. I’ve even notice people eating Churros here. I never got to try it but it sure looks and smells amazing. The Bee also have special mic nights here. From bands to stand up comedy, it’s an awesome spot to watch a show and have a meal.
Overall, i have no qualms with Publika’s bee. There were times where the service was a bit slow. But it rarely happens in my opinion. Usually the service here is fast and the servers are always friendly.

The bee is one of those ‘hipster’ as places the youngins would call it. (I’m not sure myself if I’m using the term correctly.) They have a huge stage where comedy performances or bands play on different nights of the week (do check it out on their website!)
I first stumbled across this place because a friend of mine recommended that I try the Churros there, being a big fan of desserts, I decided to bite the bait. I would rate the Churros a 4 out of 10 and start searching for new friends with a more superior taste bud. I however did enjoy their Chilli Cheese Fries and the choice of house reds available. I guess it was going to be just one of those red wine+Chilli Cheese Fries kinda day.
My friend and I (another friend) were seated at the sofas situated inside and it was a huge relief that we could smoke there as it was scorching hot outside to sit and smoke, we don’t appreciate runny makeup looks. The interior of the place is ok but being an Architect myself, I think a few changes could be made to really spruce up the place to make it look even better. All in all, it was a chill place and I wouldn’t mind coming back if I ever have one of those wine and Chilli Fries kinda day.

What’s black and yellow and stings like a Beeeee…(ok I’ll stop)
I’ve only ever known 1 restaurant, in the history of mankind called «The Bee» and this place can be found at Publika, the most artsy mall you can find in town.
I’d describe this place as a spot for hipsters. From the food menu to the furniture’s even to the music they play. The total ambiance all around sums up to a spot for music and art lovers. Not only do they serve a rare food menu but they also offer gigs every other night featuring KL’s up and coming artists to renowned musicians. All can be standing on one stage if it’s your lucky day!
I decided to be adventurous one day and order their beef salad, I forgot the name, but you can check out the picture on how it looks like incase you’d like to try it! I fell in love with it. In all honestly I love it! I’ve never tried beef slices in my salad before I normally stick to the normal salad with either salmon and/​or cheese and dressing but this beef salad was the bomb! I remember it being sweet and savory. It had bits and pieces of sweet corn. I’d definitely come back for another round
They also have a little ‘The Last Polka’ ice-​cream section is a variety of flavors and a Coffee Bar to go with your ice cream combo if you’re down for that double trouble combo!
